Honda’s Giant ASIMO Robot Float

Just in case that car thing doesn’t work out, Honda has a plan B in its quest to dominate the world. Behold, the giant 49-foot tall ASIMO robot replica (masquerading as a float, but we’re not fooled!):

Honda has tested a 49-foot replica of their ASIMO humanoid robot, that’s 12 times the height of the original. The animated replica will be a guest of honor at the 120th Rose Parade as well as kick off Honda’s 50th anniversary of U.S. operations.

The creation called “Hats Off in Celebration” will be completed with natural materials like lettuce seed, rice, carnations and strawflower.

I, for one, welcome our new giant ASIMO robot overlord: Link
